Verse

I'm trying to tell you something about my life    
Maybe give me insight between black and white    
and the best thing you've ever done for me
is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all      
Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable    
and lightness has a call that's hard to hear    
and I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
I'm crawling on your shores

Chorus

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
and the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine     
The closer I am to fine     

Verse

I went to see the doctor of philosophy     
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee   
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper
And I was free  

Chorus

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
and the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine     
The closer I am to fine     

Interlude

Bridge

I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.     
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend    
I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
I went in seeking clarity

Chorus

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountains
We go to the bible, we go through the workout 
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
and the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine     
The closer I am to fine     
The closer I am to fine
